WATCH: Fierceness! Usher's Leather Capris at the NBA All Star Game!

So much for hip-hop swagger. Usher apparently was styled by the ballroom children during his performing at last night's All Star Game. Leather capri pants, spaghetti strap tank top, leg warmers and a Jean Paul Gaultier-inspired breastplate with sculpted pecs and abs. Madonna meets The Fifth Element .. with a twist, no?

i saw this all over the blogs today and still cant see what the big deal was...now had he had on those pants with no leggings under neath and some fierce open toe heels then we would be on to somethin...so YAWN!

Yeah, I was in the audience - in the pit right there (even got to see Usher stretching on the ground after rehearsals, haha) and didn't notice that stuff at all. I mean, I saw the breastplate of righteousness and all, but definitely not the pants. Don't see the big deal anyway, but meh.

Who are you calling a hater?
Anyone on this blog has a RIGHT to cut up on Usher, as many mean spirited, homophobic, antigay comments he has made over all the years. A few were even linked in the post above.

Surely you're aware of the homophobic comments Usher has made? And the many rumors that have surrounded him? There cant be a black gay man reading this blog that hasnt heard them. Its been reported here for years. Unless you're one of those types who likes to keep pretending homophobic hip hop stars and rappers don't make homophobic comments.

I'm with you Dalton. I'll never understand why so many gay brothas always rush to defend the straight black men who always kick gays in the teeth. Oh and hi Freeleo!

McWheels, you must be new to this blog. A few catty comments on a blog about Usher's outfit is not "hate". Usher's homophobic remarks about f_gs, anal sex, gays and religion and more is HATE. You really need to stop using that word because it's used against us and you clearly don't see it.

I dont see anything with the outfit that screams gay. I just dont. I think one blog started all of this and everyone just hoped on the band wagon. Had he come out on stage with Richard Simmons shorts on or even had beat his face and arched his eyebrows like a NYC Christopher street kid, then I would have thought something was wrong with the outfit.

@Dalton
Yea, I've heard the rumors. I don't deal in rumors. I deal in fact. If I dealt in rumors, perhaps you heard the rumors that gay people can be turned straight? Now, as LGBT folks we know that that is BS, but when we hear a rumor about a star, we are quick to believe it. Furthermore, rumors are started by folks who dislike the person the rumors is about. I say again: Step away from the hateradeThose are not "rumors". Usher made those comments himself and was quoted here and here. Usher also says gay people can be turned straight here. smhlolz @ "haterade" -RM
